Sadly that will disappear for ever

When did payphones take quarters?
Calls were a dime, like, forever.
Same with a cup of coffee.
Payphones were a quarter for only a very brief period of time before they disappeared.
This is like having nostalgia about a car phone--extremely specific.
I’m 42 and it was a dime for a very short time for me. Then it was a quarter. Actually I think there was a very brief time it was 15 cents.
Born in the late 80s I mostly remember $.25 and eventually $.35. although I saw a few pushing $.50. I loved going to the airport between the payphone carousels and the cart return I generally made $10 3 packs of pokemon cards a visit,
